If you’re a budding entrepreneur, talk to The Vine about office space, see what StartupSD has in store for Startup Week, and get the best hands-on start for your business idea by attending Startup Weekend in July.

If you’re considering embarking on a technical career, seek out Learn Academy who can train you to be a web developer in 4 months.

To learn new technical skills, talk to the Geek Girls about Geek Girl Tech Con in June. And ladies are invited to RailsBridge, a one-day workshop to learn Ruby on Rails.

…and that’s just for starters. Check out our venue layout and Twitter stream for more. There will be a lot to take in, so make a plan!

Drinks
We’re streamlining drink ordering this year. First, use cash or credit card to buy drink tickets. Then hit up the beer bar or the cocktail bar depending on your preference. Here’s a map. Craft beers are $7, cocktails are $8.

Paintball
We’re not all that sorry to say that March Mingle has nothing to do with paintballing, though you can pick up a coupon for Total Combat Paintball at one of the bars. It reduces the cost from $45 to $21.99 to play, so come back and check it out another time.

Transport
There is lots of street parking around the venue, but we strongly encourage that you leave your sweet ride at home and use Lyft or Uber Pool to pick up some geeky friends on the way.

Food
Your senses are unlikely to let you miss our fresh sushi bar. We’ll also have appetizers to suit other diets near the VR booths.

Social
Tweeps and sharers, please use hashtags #MM2017, #sdtech and #startupSD. We encourage you to upload photos of you and your new friends to Flickr or Instagram using #MarchMingle. Follow us on Twitter at @MarchMingle for live event updates.

Ticket
No need to print your ticket. We will scan the QR code from your phone, or look you up by name.

This community belongs to all of you; March Mingle is a great opportunity to foster collaboration and find out where your community needs you. You are the people who make the San Diego tech scene something we can all be proud of.
